Radiance of the God-Man – Adi Da Samraj

Heart-Master Da:

Devotees submit themselves to the God-form through one
another, through ordinary relations.

All the while remembering the Divine.

In some cases the Divine in this appearance, this human
gesture.

Such fortunate people are the intimates of such a one.

It is not necessary to be intimate with that form to
engage in such a practice of Truth, but it is fortunate.

These intimates of this necessity…become the only
appearance, become the only figurement, the only argument,
of its necessity or form.

These intimates…seem to be it without
self-consciousness, and therefore serve others without
argument of an ordinary kind.

The Ashram as a whole, the church of this enjoyment of my
intimacy, becomes the aura, embodied, of this unnecessary
and actual non-birth.

This is so that the only birth of this one, who is
not one in concentration or in fact.

But one devotees.

This becomes knowable and factual in devotees.

It is only in the next generation beyond this body that
the factuality of this circumstance becomes apparent.

There is…no gesture, no accomplishment, no fulfillment,
of this expression in this life.

This life becomes a sacrifice to its own expression.

Having no center in itself, it becomes many, centered
nowhere but expressed in everywhere.

 

The Incarnation of Devotees is the Birth of the
Master

Devotees, or those intimate with this birth, which isapparent only become the form, or the body, in many without a center,without a single one. If they all stood in a circle looking to the center, theywould see nothing except someone on the other side. Yet to those who view them, who live with themcompassionately, they are, For the first time, the bodily expression, theincarnation, of God, without a center. The incarnation of devotees is the birth.

 

Recognition of the Spiritual Master is Fully Realized
Upon His, Her Disappearancce

The gesture of the God-man in human form is sexual,is an instigation,a suggestion, an intrusion, in the midst of human life that produces the birth, in the form of those already born, of his own domination. You see how it occurs? Probably not. But that is the way it occurs. And it never is fully expressed, never acknowledged, until the complete disappearance of the apparent bodily form of the born one, or the God-man.

The birth, the expression, the appearance, of the God-man implies its, his, her own death, sacrifice, before there is any feeling at large for the Divine. Because as long as this apparently born one continues toexist, the eyes turn inward, turning toward the center, toward the cultic object or to some withinness that has a focus. It is only when the God-man is dissolved in his or her appearance, is completely gone, has no longer any focus even in devotees in a place, it is only then that expression that is knowable to men and women at large communicates itself, becomes knowable, only when the reflection turns outward and becomes Radiant.

You can see that the birth of the God-man implies sacrifice, or death, of the God-man,it must occur quickly. Its persistence depends entirely on the response of devotion.

 

The Vanishing of The Master – The Burden of
Light

But when devotees preparation is sufficientThis is not knowable to devotees—It is then that this appearance is vanished, like a magic object given to you in a devotional afternoon.
The disappearance of the God-man is therefore suddenwhenever it occurs it is sudden. Its significance is that the aura of his or her communication moves through his or her lovers, only through them.

The entire process depends entirely,without a center, on the process of the community, on the process of the gathering of devotees, who no longer have a center in the case of the death ofthe God-man, but who have a burden of Light, who suffer or enjoy a speed in them that they could not recollect or engage while that one lived.

But when devotees preparation is sufficientThis is not knowable to devotees—It is then that this appearance is vanished, like a magic object given to you in a devotional afternoon.
So All the time that I appear to be with you, Even though there isn’t really a center among you Except your own face, I continually realize that center in your faces that moves in the sphere, unrecollected, of your appearance, and play upon it, so that you seem to find in me a center, a one, an individual, a case of Enlightenment, and continue to play upon you in your bodies until that face in you is sublimed beyond your hairs, being the only thing changing. My disappearanceIs effective upon you. The event is not my disappearance, but your revelation.

 

Knowing All Beings from the Heart

Release yourself from this objectification, from this knowledge by suggestion that you exist independently. Do not believe your own face. Only be seen by others. Don’t desire to be seen, but be seen in spite of the desire.

Then you may be known radiantly, only when you forget it, when you give up all reflections by knowledge, by understanding, and become faceless, with only this body receding from it, knowing all beings not from face but from the heart, which is without perception, reflected in the face, but not known by you.

In that case, you may become Divine in your agency and known Godly to ordinary people, without self-consciousness. This is the function of the Guru. It is the function of his devotees, or his lovers, after death, after preparation. Know that that preparation is not complete until the God-man dies in his body, and the implication of the birth of the God-man is his death, not to be regretted like an event that is over, but it be known as the sign that his or her birth has finally occurred.

 

Individuals Will Try to Replace the Center

The life of the God-man is like the interim in the womb of an ordinary man or woman. The death of the God-man is like the birth of an ordinary man or woman, in which the case the God-man finally achieves form without self-consciousness in the bodies, head, arms, trunk, and legs of devotees,true devotees.

Spurious individuals will make claims for themselves, become self-conscious, trying to replace the center. But those who are the lovers of that one, who have known that one truly, will be completely free of self-consciousness, free of strategy, will live that process in relationship, communicated in person by the God-man without person, will live that in relationship to one another without face, without consulting the mirrors of consciousness or this world. In that case they may become the media, the gesture, the argument, that is the service of God-Realization in ordinary beings.
